Enjoy all the flavours of birthday cake with sprinkles, ready in only 5 minutes.
I love birthdays – the joy, the merriment and of course the desserts. To celebrate my birthday – yep, it’s my birthday today – I wanted to share a little sweet treat with all of you. If I could make a super big cake and give each of you a slice, I would. Instead, I’ll share a sweet, mug cake recipe. Think of this as my big slice for you.
There’s nothing like a vanilla cake bursting with sprinkles. It just screams party! Birthday Mug Cake is filled with everything you love about birthday cakes – rich vanilla batter, a velvety, creamy texture and of course, sprinkles.
Forget about baking and frosting the perfect birthday cake. Birthday Mug Cake is ready in only five minutes. When it’s warm and fresh out of the microwave, you can top it with a candle or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Whichever way you serve it, your sweet wishes will come true when you take your first bite.
On its own, this tender cake takes like a real celebration, but when you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it adds another dimension of flavour. Mellow and creamy, vanilla ice cream heightens the vanilla flavoured batter. A la mode or on its own, Birthday Mug Cake is one tasty dessert.

Such a good idea! I see myself using this when my kids have a mid-week birthday and we want to celebrate with cake, but a whole one is just too much!
Great idea! And a very happy birthday to you!
Thanks Barbara!! You’re so sweet! ?

Thank you! ?
Happy Birthday! Cute idea. I like that it is a single serving that could satisfy a craving without having the entire rest of a large cake sitting around to tempt you.
Thanks Sheila!! I agree, single serving cakes are wonderful little treats. ?
